PRESS FOR STENCIL=PRINT|NG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,905, dated January 15, 1884.

Application filed September 21, 1852. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN G. HILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fayetteville, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented an Improved Press for Stencil-Printing, to be used in connection with a stencil or perforating pen, to facilitate the rapid cleanly multiplication of copies, which object I attain by the construction of press hereinafter described and claimed.

The accompanying drawing is a perspective View of the press and roller as used in copy ing, the corner of the press being cut away so as to show the base and frame pieces of the press, the pad upon the base, the stencil, inked felt, impervious covering, and spring and link and staple.

The single piece of board A and the framepieees B B constitute the base and frame-work of the press. Upon the base A is fastened a pasteboard pad, 6, corresponding in size with the paper used for receiving the copy, and upon which the copying-paper is placed.

F F is a pasteboard frame, fastened to the.

press-frame B B by bent ties, and is easily removed.

E is the stencil, and is secured in its place by the pasteboard frame.

I) is a piece of felt cloth, saturated with ink, and nailed or fastened to the frame B B.

O O is a piece of impervious enameled cloth, also nailed or fastened to the press-frame.

B is the roller, fitted to run inside the pressframe and upon the back of the impervious cloth.

S is the spring, attached to the base Aof the press in position as shown, and connecting by a link and staple to the press-frame B B, and' raising the press-frame from the base when the roller is removed.

I place the stencil in the press-frame next to the inked surface of the felt cloth, and push down the press-frame upon the base of the press, and roll the roller over the top of the impervious covering, whereby the ink is passed through the stencil to the paper heneath, and a copy made thereon. IVhen the roller is taken off, the spring raises the pressframe, allowing the removal of the copy. By

this arrangement I make the multiplication of copies both cleanly and rapidly.

Having described my invention,what I claim is 1. The impervious or enameled cloth 0 G, in combination with the pressframe B B. provided with link and staple, the base A, having spring S, inked felt D, stencil E, frame F I pad e, and the roller R, to render cleanly the multiplication of copies from stencil, as shown,
